New bedding!

So, I’ve been meaning to blog for a while now…but my dinosaur of a computer plays a role in putting it off as long as possible. When I really don’t have much free time to blog to start with, constantly getting stuck when uploading makes for a very frustrating and drawn out process! I’ve been too busy to document all my projects, but here is one I’m very excited about!! Since upgrading to a king size mattress I’ve been on the lookout for a comforter/quilt for a while now. I found this splash of happiness at HomeGoods for just $40.00 & I had a giftcard, yay!! I also bought the large green pillow at HG for $12 & the yellow rose pillow from Target for $19.99 the others I already had. Since my eleven month old is into EVERYTHING I had to find a nightstand solution that did away with the fabulous tables I was using before, I needed something that came all the way to the floor to hide cords. The french end table I purchase from my sister-in-law (sadly I didn’t take a before) but I was really happy with how it turned out. The other side is just one I had around the house painted espresso, so I have girly & masculine…now I just need a fabulous barnwood headboard if my hubby ever gets some free time, a jute rug, re-upholster a chair, frame the ginormous mirror I got on craigslist for $12.50 into a floor mirror, a few other things and my master bedroom will be set, small dent in a large list, but hey it’s a great one!

cleaned up…ready to go!

Hubs hard at work

During

afterish

Yes, my room has been painted a few times and now I notice that I left the towel on the right nightstand in the pic since I was too impatient to wait until the paint completely cured to put everything back on top. Unusual color choice on the nightstand I know…but I love how it complements the quilt! After dealing with bad lighting, this little post taking well over an hour and a half as it got stuck, uggh, I even ate breakfast and it was still stuck!! It will probably be a while before you hear from me again, as I have a one year birthday party to plan and execute, four paintings to finish, a garden to cultivate & somehow get to work on time. Maybe one day I will be able to get a new computer, in the meantime I hope you enjoy and it was worth the trouble. I am going to do something else now and get out of the mood dealing with this has put me in. Happy Monday everyone!!

I love seeing your before and afters, wow, what a lot of hard work has gone into your house! The nightstand colors are great, I’d never have thought of it but it looks elegant and fun at the same time!

My passion, the reason for this blog...developing the gifts God has given me, sharing what he lays on my heart through painting, and turning useless junk and forlorn furniture into something fabulous.
